Verification

Verification activities include comparing the estimates made in the project or activity under consideration with those reported in literature or made by other institutions for similar projects or activities. Verification activities would help the carbon inventory experts to identify the limitations and improve the accuracy of the estimates, especially if the estimates from the project or activity under consideration deviate widely from other estimates made for a similar project or activity. The verification procedure and approach would include comparing the following:

• Project or activity estimates of carbon stocks

• Methods and models adopted

• Sampling method and size

• Calculation procedures adopted

• Technical knowledge and capacity of the staff involved in field measurements and laboratory studies
